Approach to Conceptual Framework
In revising the Conceptual Framework, the Board sought a compromise between presenting high-level concepts and providing the Board and others with sufficient knowledge for the Conceptual Framework to be useful.
The Conceptual Framework is used by the Board as a practical instrument to help it establish standards.
Therefore the Conceptual Framework includes concepts that help the Board to establish standards and also discusses the factors that the Board has to take into consideration when making major decisions when there is no single answer to the application of the concepts.
Good Luck 👍 and Enjoy! 😊
